The Diggers song - World Turned Upside Down

Hear/Watch the Billly Brag version.

In 1649
To St George's Hill
A ragged band they called the Diggers
Came to show the people' s will
They defied the landlords
They defied the laws
They were the dispossessed
Reclaiming what was theirs
We come in peace, they said
To dig and sow
We come to work the land in common
And to make the waste land grow
This earth divided
We will make whole
So it can be
A common treasury for all.

The sin of property
We do disdain
No one has any right to buy and sell
The earth for private gain
By theft and murder
They took the land
Now everywhere the walls
Rise up at their command.

They make the laws
To chain us well
The clergy dazzle us with heaven
Or they damn us into hell
We will not worship
The God they serve
The God of greed who feeds the rich
While poor men starve

We work, we eat together
We need no swords
We will not bow to masters
Or pay rent to the lords
We are free men
Though we are poor
You Diggers all stand up for glory

Stand up now
From the men of properall.

To conquer them by love, come in now, come in now
To conquer them by love, come in now;
To conquer them by love, as itt does you behove,
For hee is King above, noe power is like to love,
Glory heere, Diggers all.
and 'gainst Priests, stand up now, stand up now,
'Gainst lawyers and 'gainst Priests stand up now.
For tyrants they are both even flatt againnst their oath,
To grant us they are loath

Welcome to the free world.. or the emergency blietzkrieg before a new investiture..

Apart from those who watch Strip Mall, Americans are complaining that they aren't getting a proper unbiased coverage of the situation in Gaza (basically no TV coverage whatsoever..), well no kidding, most of them must feel like they have been living in a bubble for a few years now that they have access to the internet (see: If Americans knew).. I hope some of them are slowly starting to emerge from this parallel world just like their new president who just announced drastic environmental policies to reduce carbon emissions, nice one, how long did that take?
So, anyway, if you live on the moon or in England or Nebraska and haven't received proper information because your media has been bought by the mossad, here are some websites that will try and tell you about the situation as it is lived by the Palestinians:
Human Rights in Gaza
Tale of Sameh Habeeb, an indie Palestinian journalist
A Mancuninan/Palestinian account of the war
B'Tselem, a Jewish organisation run by Israelis is involved in handing out camcorders to 150 Palestinians in the West Bank and encouraging them to chronicle the abuse they suffer, either at the hands of Israeli soldiers or Jewish settlers living in the occupied territories. This had led to footage coming directly from the victims to hit the internet and create massive outrage. See some of the footage here or here.
On the other hand, the BBC is refusing to show a charitable appeal for humanitarian aid in Gaza -- their suffering is too "politically contentious" apparently..
Avaaz Campaign for the BBC to organise a charity broadcast for Gaza.
